Two things:
1. SVG isn't about audio at all. If Adobe connects audio with SVG, they 
really mean SMIL support, I guess.
2. Personally, I'd find it curious (to say the least) that an Open 
Source project should actively work towards supporting a plugin from a 
vendor that has repeatedly shown it's in favour of prosecuting members 
of the Open Source and related communities. I'm specifically talking 
about Killustrator and Dmitry here.
